A Wise King.

King Frederick vi, of Denmark,
while travelling through Jutland, mi
day entered a village school and found
the children lively and intelligent and
quite ready to answer his questions.
well, youngsters" he said, what
are the names of the greatest Kings Of
Denmarkp" With one accord they cried
out: sCanute the Great Waldemar, and
Christian w."
just then a little girl, to whom the
schoolmaster had whispered some
thing, stood Up and raised her hand.
DO you know anotherp" asked the
King.
ssYes-Frederick vi"
..What great act did be PERFORM"
The little girl hung her head and
stammered out: * don't know
BE comforted, my child, : said the
King; II don't know either.-Irish

BASE BALL.
Histors OF the Formation OF the First
Professional Club.

ProteSSionai CLUB.
Although base ball began in 1916, pop
ular interest throughout the United
States was not awakened until the Red
Stockings, of Cincinnati, in the season
of 1869, went the length and width of
the Union. and scored an unbroken
chain of victories. The growth of this
club was singularly rapid. In 1866
nine men, principally lawyers. met in a
lawyers Office and formed an organiza-
ton, which was limited to forty mem
bers, so as to make sure of having suf-
fcient men to make up the sides on the
two play days of the week. The
grounds chosen were in the malarial
Mill Greek bottoms, where no rent was
charged. Cholera was epidemic that
year, and each of the enthusiasts car
ried a bottle of brandy. charged with
Jamica ginger and capsicum.
The death rate at that time was from
fifty to eighty a day, and whenever a
funeral rolled by on the high ground
toward the cemetery each man took a
pull at his flask. At the second meet
ing of the club a member reported that
he had spent 1913 for a chest with pad
lock in which to keep the bats, bags,
and balls, and that free storage had
been secured for it in a foundry near
the bottoms. No protest was made,
but there was much comment made on
the extravaganza.
The next year found the club with a
membership of 200, with a lease of the
Union Cricket grounds at So, 500 per
annum, and here acquaintance was
first made with Harry Wright, who was
IN the pay of the cricketers as in
structor and man of all work. He had
to repair fences. roll the grounds, do
odd jobs for the members, and, as a
can of increasing his slender income
kept a little sandwich and sarsaparrilla
stand in the alleged club house. The
Harry of those days in laboring mans
clothes and the refined-looking Harry
of to-day were widely acknowledging
lei As talent developed the base
ball club became ambitious, and in the
ensuing winter membership was re-
cruited up to 500. and with the increas-
ed funds splendid grounds were secured
by lease, a handsome grand stand and
pavilions erected, and a $20,0 900 nine
was put in the field that in the same
year went out and swept the country.
Thus in three years a little club that
objected to an outlay of 1913 found it
self with a phenomenally large mem
bership roll and in the possession of
grounds and a nine that represented a
cash outlay of $40. 900.

be relied on when crossing or improv-
ing the breed is desired. The English
Downs are considered tire best for pro-
ducing the finest wool. The principal
points sought for In sheep are those
that give evidence of their fattening
properties; a straight back, broad loins,
roundness of body. are valuable points.
A good formed animal is one with
plenty OF flesh evenly put on, and as
little bone as possible. The following
gives requirements for mutton sheep:
Head moderately fine; nostrils wide;
eyes prominent; ears broad, moderate
ly long, thin and covered with short
hair; collar full from breast and shout
ders, tapering gradually all the way
to where the neck and head join;
neck short, thick and strong and free
from coarse and loose skin. Shout
ders broad and full, and at the same
time joined so gradually to the collar
forward and the chin backward as not
to leave the least hollow in either place.
Fore legs, the mutton on the arm or
fore thigh should come quite to the
knee; leg with heavy bone and upright,
clear from superduous skin, should
stand square and well apart; breast,
broad and well forward, keeping the
legs wide apart, girth or chest, full and
deep; fore-lank quite full, not showing
hollow behind shoulder; back and loin,
broad, fiat and straight, from which
the ribs must spring with a fine circu-
lar arch. Belly, straight on under line;
quarters, long and full, with mutton
quite down to the hook; hook should
stand neither in nor out, but straight;
twist or junction inside the thighs.
deep, wide and full, which with a broad
breast, will keep the legs open and up
right; the whole body should be cover
ed with wool, of a close texture, of
good length and fine quality. -Practi-

Something About Elevators.

Iillug ABOUT
During the recent cold norther, half
a dozen well-known Austin men were
gathered around the stove in the back
room of a popular saloon discussing
one thing and another.
Gentlemen" said the school teach
er, emphatically, Education with a
big Z is the greatest elevator of the
age. 1t makes men nobler and better"
"As the penitentiaries are boiling
over with educated gentlemen who
forged checks, that remark about edu-
cation making men nobler is all hum
bug. Why, man alive, look at the edu-
Gated men there were in the Texas
poker legislature. said Gilhooly.
There are several other elevators
beside education. For instance, a tack
is an elevator remarked Gus De
Smith.
"A tackp"
Eyes, a tack. 1t is not a great ele-
vator; it is quite a small elevator. but
in proportion to its size, it will elevate
a man more suddenly and higher than
any other elevator in the market. 1t
cannot, however, be t~ruthfully said
that the tack makes a man any better
or nobler, judging by the language he
uses"
Talking about elevators" remark
ed old Smoot, the stage driver, the
rope is an elevator that is not to be
sneered at. 1t does raise men up right
from the ground, and make themsbetter
men. There is a big Improvement in
most men who are elevated by a rope.
They never steal horses or anything
else after they have been raised up;
whereas a man who has been raised
into Congress keeps right on stealing
worse than ever"
There was a murmur of assent, and
one with a blonde nose said: The
most popular elevator is whisky. 1t
elevates a man nightly in his W
estimate on. There have been times
when / wouldn't have shaken hands
with a king. You bet whisky elevates
q man in his own estimation"
Yes, and lowers him in the estima-
ton of his friends" retorted the school
teacher.
THAT don't make any difference in
cold weather. Barkeeper, bring hot
whisky toddies for the crowd"
While the gentlemen were lowering
themselves in each others estimation,
Gilhooly said:
"The darndest elevator | ever heard
of was in a field in New York. A city
gentleman who was rusticating in the
country. saw a large sign on the fence
that read: please take the elevator in
crossing this field He did not catch
on at first, but he would have found it
yery easy to catch on If he had climbed
over the fence, for there was q brindle
bull paving the earth and suffe ring to
elevate somebody. "-Terds SJtsngs.

SOMETIMES the lamp-wick obstinately
refuses to be turned up in an orderly
manner. It will seem firmly wedged at
one side, while the other runs up in a
point, causing WEAKNESS and vexation of
spirit. To overcome this depravity, take
new wick, draw out single thread near
the selvage and the wick will be found
tractable when introduced into the bur-
ner. The cogs will take it up properly,
and it will appear in good form and give
an even fame when lighted.

Broom Corn.
Lincoln Republican.

The raising OF broom corn is one of the
most profitable branches of farming the
western Kansas farmer can engage in.
This is emphaticly demonstrated by the
prosperity of the communities of Sterling,
in Rice county, and Lindsbprg, in Me-
Pherson county. These are the most ex-
tensive broom corn communities in Kan
sss. and likewise one of the most pros
porous. An experienced broom corn
raiser in Lincoln county can, with a
single crop, pay for as many acres of the
best land in the County. Bad farming, in
any of It's branches. is always failure.
